Rider Readiness, Focus and Fatigue
Prepare your body and attention before every ride.
Start with the rider
A motorcycle gives little protection when judgement or reaction time is reduced. Delay the ride when you are tired, unwell, emotionally distracted or affected by any substance or medicine that reduces alertness.
Plan before moving
Set navigation, secure the phone and choose suitable clothing before starting. Know where you can stop safely if conditions change.
Keep scanning
Look far ahead, check mirrors regularly and search for developing hazards. A calm scan helps you avoid sudden steering or braking.
